Chapter 267: Just Run Over (1)
A chill flashed in Ron's eyes.
Deloris is his, and no one wants to snatch it.
Holt 474 tried to marry Deloris again and again, this old thing is really tired and crooked, or is the lesson from last time not enough?
Also, Who is Egbert?
I can't remember it for a while...... Could it be that this guy was also born suddenly for some reason, similar to the existence of the Andre family? Guardian of Destiny?
Also, there has always been Arianna by Delores's side, this Valkyrie, it can be said that in the entire Granville, she can compete with Christian for the first place in the kingdom.
It is precisely because of the existence of Arianna that Ron can rest assured that Delores will carry out that series of plans, if Arianna exists, as long as Delores is unwilling, I am afraid that Holt 474 will not be able to force Delores, right?
Could it be that something has happened in the middle?
Ron has an advantage, that is, if he doesn't understand, he asks, and with a sip of wine, Ron slowly spoke: "But isn't Princess Delores in charge of the army now?" Holt, that old thing dares to do something to Princess Celestia? ”
"Moreover, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess is around, but there have always been high-ranking people guarding ......"
"Hey, little brother, I didn't expect you to be an understanding person." Obviously, the name of the old Holt thing made these soldiers very appetizing.
After all, after being a soldier for so many years, the military salary has not been paid once, and these soldiers have almost zero loyalty to Granville and the Holt royal family.
At this time, even the soldier who had been talking less was a little drunk, and patted Ron on the shoulder: "You're talking about Lord Arianna, that's a Valkyrie, and almost no one in Granville is her opponent." ”
"If Arianna is still by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she naturally doesn't worry about these calculations."
"But I heard that it was about a month and a half ago, and Miss Arianna suddenly realized that I don't know exactly what the situation was, but I heard that Miss Arianna stood in the courtyard all afternoon, staring at the sky motionlessly, and did not wake up until nightfall, and after waking up, she directly announced that she was going to retreat."
"If Miss Arianna's retreat is successful and she breaks through, it may be our Granville...... No, it may be that in the entire Dusk Continent for thousands of years, apart from the sages and blasphemers, there is only one powerhouse who has stepped into the realm of destruction. ”
"This matter is related to Miss Arianna's future, with the temperament of Her Royal Highness Princess Delores, how can she stop Miss Arianna for her own safety."
A month and a half ago.
Ron's lips trembled slightly, he was still in the Twilight Temple at that time, although it was difficult to tell the exact time, but ...... Stimulated by the diary left by Zhou Yang's predecessors, and then peeking into the shackles imposed by fate on every living creature in the Dusk Continent, it should have been during that time.
Could it be that it is because he peeked into the shackles of fate, and then caused some chain reactions, such as those beings in this world who have cultivated their own strength to the extreme, such as Christian and Arianna, have sensed the existence of this shackle?
And Arianna's retreat is to cut off this chain?
He was expecting a little, not knowing if Arianna would be able to break the chain.
However, if this is the case, then didn't he indirectly give Holt 474 the opportunity to frame Delores?
Ron's face darkened.
There was a murderous look in his eyes.
It's just that the drunken soldiers didn't notice this at all, and were still babbling with big tongues:
"On weekdays, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is guarded by Miss Arianna, so she didn't leave too many masters to accompany her to protect, Valkyrie's retreat, the defensive forces around her suddenly seemed a little empty, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess immediately began to mobilize people from the surrounding military camps, but Holt's old dog started faster and more ruthlessly, seized this opportunity, and put the eldest princess under house arrest at that time."
"Because the eldest princess is controlled, the people on the side of Granville's army are now panicking, and although there are many soldiers outside the city of Adams, they don't dare to act rashly."
"Our brothers were originally guarding the border passes, and it was when they heard the news that they were arranged, so they were arranged by the chief to go to Adams's side to inquire about the specific situation, if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has really been placed under house arrest and will marry the waste of the Egbert family in the future, then what's the point of guarding it here, those dog-day nobles don't treat our brothers as human beings at all on weekdays......"
"I heard that Holt's old tortoise, in order to prevent someone from rescuing Princess Deloris, even arranged a large number of scouts outside Adams, there were not enough people, and even borrowed a lot of masters from the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, bah, what the hell, a nest of snakes and rats."
With the chatter and grumbling, Ron finally got a general idea of what was going on.
Seeing that he couldn't ask too much useful questions, Ron got up and took his leave.
"What's wrong with Delores?" As soon as she sat down, Agnes immediately asked.
"Holt and Apu may have joined forces." Ron said with a sneer.
Although the word Apu never appeared in the mouths of those soldiers, the Church of the Goddess of Dawn appeared, and Ron had already deduced a rough idea.
Holt is the type of person who wants to be a bitch and still wants to set up an archway, he wants to control all the power of the whole of Granville alone, and even wants to change his title of king to emperor.
However, he cherishes his reputation and does not want to bear the name of a tyrant.
So, when Delores moved and put the nobles under house arrest to squeeze money from the nobles, Holt was completely acquiescing.
He regarded Deloris as a very sharp knife, and used Deloris to suppress the influence of the aristocracy, so that the aristocracy no longer had the slightest capital to resist the royal power.
When Deloris clears the way, Holt will jump out to pick the fruit, but the guy's movements in the game are a little slow, and at that time, Delores has completely gathered the general's heart, and the entire Granville army does not recognize anyone except Delores, not even Holt, the king.
Annoyed and angry, Holt is ready to get rid of Deloris directly, but he underestimates the strength of Arianna and Delores, and Delores's mother is trapped in the dungeon by Holt and tortured to death, which eventually leads to Holt's death at the hands of the player, Deloris and Arianna.
And now, although the nobles suppressed by Deloris do not dare to raise their heads for the time being, they are far from the extent of breaking their muscles and bones. Supposedly, Holt shouldn't have done it at this time, so Ron could only infer that something else must have happened that caused Holt to attack Delores in advance.
And there are two reasons for this.
On the one hand, it was Ron's plan for Deloris that was far more thorough and efficient than Delores's own actions in the game, and Delores's prestige in the army grew too fast, causing Holt to be jealous and decide not to raise tigers anymore!
On the other hand, it is very likely that Apu returned to Adams. With Apu's character, he would definitely not be able to bear the humiliation he had suffered in the Dusk Temple, and he would never be able to accept that the Eye of the Dragon God had fallen into his hands. The guy, maybe he has been immersed in the fantasy that he is the child of destiny and can't extricate himself, and all the hardships he has experienced are all regarded as the test of destiny for himself, and all the existence that stands in front of him is a stepping stone to his rise.
However, he is not strong enough to deal with Ron and Agnes at the same time, and in this case, Apu is bound to look for help.
The Great Sage of Christian is naturally impossible, and after all the calculations, the only one who can become a helper seems to be Holt. Apu happened to see the picture of himself and Agnes working together, and once the news reached Holt's ears, Holt was bound to be furious.
And his relationship with Deloris is impossible to hide from Holt.
With all the anger combined, it's not surprising that this old thing does anything.
Once the news of Deloris getting married reaches his ears, no matter what, he will enter Adams, and Apu and Holding will naturally prepare a large number of masters in advance and ambush near Adams, once they get close, they will inevitably be besieged by a large number of strong people.
In order to avoid reprisals afterwards, perhaps even Arianna, who is already in retreat, may be in danger.
At the beginning, he was also going to use similar means to deal with Apu, but he didn't expect that now it would be fulfilled on himself first.
After listening to Ron's simple explanation, Agnes's face also changed: "Sir, what should we do now?" ”
"What should I do?" Ron raised an eyebrow and shoved the last slice of bread into his mouth, "Delores won't be in any danger until I return to Adams." ”
"As for Holt and Apu, just run over them!"
……
Adams!
Outside the city.
The dense jungle was very quiet, there was no sound, and even the chirping of birds and insects was gone at this time.
On the official road, although you can see some caravans coming and going, as well as civilians entering and leaving the royal city, those people have completely lost the noise and silence of their usual days.
Anyone can feel the extremely oppressive and terrifying aura in the air, and in such an atmosphere, even the most idiotic person knows that something big is going to happen in this place.
In the dense forests on both sides of the official road, there are lurking figures.
All of them are the best thieves.
Their figures were almost completely integrated with their surroundings, and their heartbeats and breathing were all suppressed to the extreme.
Even if you walk up to them, it's hard to detect the presence of these thieves.
A pair of eyes, vigilantly staring around, refusing to let go of any movement.
They had been waiting here for a long, long, more than half a month, but the target had never appeared.
None of the thieves noticed that on the ground, completely transparent tentacles were like dense poisonous snakes, winding quickly along the ground.
